Book Review of Jimmy the Wags: Street Stories of a Private Eye

Jimmy the Wags: Street Stories of a Private Eye
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


Very enjoyable tales of a retired policeman turned private investigator, told in a breezy, compelling, and often humorous manner. \

a snippet from a review on Amazon
"Wagner and coauthor Patrick Picciarelli make a real-life tough guy come off just like you'd want him to be: straight out of an Elmore Leonard novel, equal parts Joe Pesci and James Bond."
True, that.

I found it an engrossing read, and recommend his sequel of his experiences as a NYC policeman, which is even funnier, titled
My Life in the NYPD.
